Related: About this forumQatar's 2020 World Cup Stadium Looks A Lot Like A Vagina
Attention, attention. There's a football stadium in Qatar that looks a lot like female genitalia, and the internet wants you to gawk at it.
Yes, outlets like The Guardian, The Independent and Buzzfeed are aesthetically correct in comparing the Al Wakrah World Cup Stadium design to a vagina. With its labia-like exterior, pinkish coloring and perfectly placed opening, it's easy to see less a state-of-the-art athletic center meant to combat Qatar's scorching summer heat, and more a giant, flowering vagina that only happens to house 40,000 spectators and cost $140 billion.
We'll even give it to Buzzfeed et al for pointing out this hilariously NSFW GIF (clipped from an Al Wakrah Stadium teaser video), which turns the unlucky viewer into a strange sort of architectural voyeur.

First we have churches in Illinois that look like dicks, now football stadiums that look like vaginas. What's next?
